Locally Grown Beauty: Our Partnership with Shady Lady Acres

At Kartechner & Girls Flower Co., we believe that the best flowers are the ones grown close to home. That’s why we’re thrilled to partner with Shady Lady Acres, a Wisconsin-based flower farm known for its stunning, high-quality blooms. This collaboration allows us to bring fresh, locally grown flowers to our customers while supporting small-scale flower farming right here in our home state.

Why We Love Wisconsin-Grown Flowers

There’s something truly special about flowers grown on Wisconsin soil. They’re nurtured by hardworking hands, kissed by the Midwestern sun, and harvested with care. By sourcing locally from Shady Lady Acres, we ensure that our floral arrangements are:

🌸 Fresh & Long-Lasting – Locally grown flowers spend less time in transit, meaning they arrive at our shop fresher and last longer in your home.

🌿 Sustainable & Eco-Friendly – When flowers travel fewer miles, their carbon footprint is significantly reduced. Supporting local farms means reducing the need for imported flowers, which often require extensive shipping and refrigeration.

💐 Unique & Seasonal – Shady Lady Acres specializes in growing heirloom varieties and specialty blooms that aren’t always available through large commercial growers. This allows us to create one-of-a-kind arrangements that reflect the beauty of each season.

Meet Shady Lady Acres

Nestled in the heart of Wisconsin, Shady Lady Acres is more than just a flower farm—it’s a labor of love. Owned and operated by a US Marine Corps veteran, this farm is built on hard work, resilience, and a passion for growing beautiful blooms. After spending time in Iraq, the owner turned to flower farming as a way to find peace and healing. Through the process of growing and nurturing flowers, she discovered a deep sense of purpose and tranquility, which she now shares with the community through her breathtaking blooms.

They focus on sustainable growing practices and carefully curate their flower selection to bring us the most beautiful, locally adapted flowers. Whether it’s delicate ranunculus in the spring, vibrant zinnias in the summer, or rich dahlias in the fall, their flowers add a touch of natural beauty to everything we create.

Bringing Local Blooms to You

By partnering with Shady Lady Acres, we can offer our customers a wide selection of Wisconsin-grown flowers throughout the year. Whether you’re picking up a bouquet for your home, ordering a custom arrangement, or planning your wedding flowers, you can feel good knowing that you’re supporting local growers and sustainable floral practices.

Next time you step into Kartechner & Girls Flower Co., take a moment to appreciate the beauty of locally grown flowers. We are so grateful for our partnership with Shady Lady Acres and for the opportunity to share their blooms with our community.
